Welcome to Kefalonian
Roots
The
general purpose of
Kefalonian Roots
is to acquaint the descendents of Kefalonians with
resources and information useful for researching their
family history.
The specific purpose of the site
is to make information and genealogical documents available to all descendents
of Kefalonians, especially those who cannot visit the island and remain for the
extended period of time required for researching, obtaining documents, and
locating their ancestral village.
To meet this
purpose,
Kefalonian Roots
provides the following services: a Personal Research
Assistant on the island; a medium for communication among
users researching a specific surname; useful resource
information; and historical, cultural and religious
information concerning Kefalonia.
It is hoped
that family researchers will use this site to its full
potential by adding information about their immigrant
ancestors;
surnames; family tree; and by placing
topics of interest on the bulletin board.
It is believed that
through the use of this site, descendents of Kefalonians
will learn more about their ancestors and family history;
and will develop a warm respect for their ancestors’
homeland and way of life.
